“He was great with our energetic puppy and very communicative throughout our first week leaving him at home! Would definitely hire again and highly recommend!”

“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”

“I am so happy to have found Theresa to in home dog sit while I’m away! She’s knowledgeable, communicative, and so easy to work with! Not to mention my big boy, Bruce, absolutely adores her! He has some rescue dog baggage that can be tricky sometimes, but it’s so comforting to know he’s in such good hands. Bonus! Theresa has taken some of my all time favorite pictures of Bruce, which are such a treat to get while out of town. Can’t recommend working with Theresa highly enough!”

“Davied took very good care of my Maddie. He was gentle and kind. I felt comfortable knowing that he was also watching over my house in my absence. Davied will be dog and house sitting for me again next month.”

“Rae did such a great job taking care of Elvis! She was very responsive, took lots of photos and followed all the directions. She even took care of house items like checking our mail, removed the bedding and wiped down the surfaces before heading out. Highly recommend her if she’s available for you!”


“Kate did a fantastic job taking care of our pups while we were out of town. They are a little high maintenance and she was able to take all of their needs into account. We received daily updates and photos, which let us know that everything was okay! Would definitely book with her again!”
“This was the first time that we left our insecure and fearful little rescue dog for the day with someone she didn’t know. Stacey was very understanding of our situation, and arranged a meet and greet shortly after our first correspondence. Our dog, Rae was very shy, but Stacey was patient and calm around her. When we were away, Rae hid in her crate and wouldn’t come out. Stacey texted us to let us know the situation. I recommended that she should just go ahead and leave her, but she was determined to break through Rae’s fear. I got a text a little later with a photo of Rae on her leash, and looking calm and relaxed! I was so appreciative of the extra efforts that Stacey took for Rae, so we could enjoy ourselves at my niece’s wedding.”

“Ami was wonderful and took my pup on walks and potty. She stayed with her the whole time which was such a relief for my pups separation anxiety. Would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth took incredible care of our boys!! So much love, patience and attention - also lots of photos and videos too! Hope she can take care of them again soon - know that our pups will love it and we’ll be relaxed during our time away!”

“Quinn did an excellent job watching my doggo Kanna. They were really responsive and I appreciated the lovely photos they sent. Kanna got to go on a really long walk at a local park which she surely loved. Quinn super exceeded my expectations in all areas and I'm grateful they could watch kanna for her first time in a new house while I was away.”

“SJ is amazing! We always hate leaving our pug but he was in the best hands possible. Our dog not only had an awesome time but SJ also have us excellent training tips. She is incredibly professional, provided regular updates and lots of cute photos. We are so happy we found SJ!”

“Olivia was a fabulous house and pup sitter! Great communication and lots of photos while we were away. Looking forward to the next time Olivia can watch our pups!”

“This was Siobhan’s first time house sitting my old pups. She spent a week with my pups. I came home to happy puppies and a clean house which is super refreshing after a long trip. I’ll be booking her again”
“Mary was fantastic! Our goofy boy Ballard has some overbearing parents, so we were a bit anxious about leaving him with a new friend, but they got along so well. She sent many pictures through her stay which helped me enjoy my vacation. We would definitely use Mary again.”

“Machele was amazing for watching our reactive doggy. She also did great with our cat who isnt the friendliest. She met with us early fully understand the situation. She also had a through intake to cover everything. She gave us daily updates on how the animals were doing. Through all of it she made us feel very comfortable with leaving our animals with her. She was very clean and tidy as well. Would definitely love to have her watch them again!”

“Lynn was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute need for someone to watch my Havanese, Kainalu, when I started a new in-person job, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was kind, flexible, and took such great care of Kainalu—it gave me real peace of mind during a hectic time. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Zach did an excellent job of looking after our house and newfoundland. The house was spotless and the dog happy. He showed up as planned and handled any unexpected problems well. We would certainly use him again.”

“Kathleen took wonderful care of my home and menagerie of pets. She was flexible coordinating with multiple sitters over a long vacation, and a great communicator. I’d be happy to work with her again.”

“I have used Jeff multiple times now to watch my dog, Oliver. Jeff is very communicative and always sends pictures of the adventures they go on. I know Oliver has a blast when Jeff comes and stays with him, because when I get home, he couldn’t care less! What I appreciate most about Jeff is I can completely relax when I am away, because I know Oliver is getting the same love and attention as I would give him. Thank you Jeff!”

“Sidney was a fantastic dog/house sitter for us this past weekend. She was available on pretty short notice, was wonderfully communicative and left the house spotless. Our pup Romo can be shy with new people but he warmed up quickly to her and was clearly so happy. Sidney played with him and gave him many snuggles. We loved getting timely photos of Romo throughout the weekend. We highly recommend Sidney and won’t hesitate to use her again.”

Van was a fantastic care giver for our two little dogs. Wilson is 17 and needs a lot of extra care. Van went above and beyond to care for him in our absence. Our other dog Jake loved spending time with her and on his walks. I would highly recommend Van for anytime you are away.

Mackenzie was very gracious and accommodating for a short notice request for house sitting with our dog. She was very promptly responsive, followed directions, asked appropriate questions, and most importantly treated our dog with kindness and love. Our girl was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Mackenzie!

Our second time working with Serenity, and we’re just as happy as the first time! She is very punctual and communicative, left the house in great shape, and Theo seemed to have a treat time with her! Even for an Aussie, she exercised him well and he’s been napping all afternoon since we get home. Highly recommend Serenity!

Bennett was an excellent house and pet sitter! He took time to get to know Krypto before starting the sit, meeting with us and letting our dog feel comfortable at her own pace. While we were gone Bennett was very communicative, giving daily updates and pictures. He was flexible and willing to adjust to what Krypto needed, making sure her needs were met. We returned after our trip to a clean home and happy pup!

Dasha monitors my dog’s health, tells me how much she eats, sleeps with her at night, and even takes her to work with her! She was worried about the smoke from the Spokane fires and brought her portable air purifier. Dasha cares for AKI like she is her Dog! I love her!
